He probably doesn't give a f**k about geting cancer then. Or doesn't understand the risks

And if he doesn't understand the risks, or give a f**k about him getting cancer himself, how on earth is he going to understand the risk to anyone else, or give a f**k about anyone else working with asbestos?

FIND A NEW JOB. I said before, but you didn't tell me if I was wrong, I was under the impression that sparkies were in quite a decent demand ....
